I don't want to start scapegoating players but yesterday was proof that we have one or two players who just aren't good enough.
Bosingwa had a terrible game and his defending wasn't just bad it was non-existent. We need to strengthen at right back this January.
Mikel provided little to no cover for the back four and he looked out of depth against Ramsey and Arteta. Sorry but Mikel is no more than a squad player and should only be starting if everyone else is unavailable.
Very worried by Ashley Cole's performance yesterday. Awful and he kept getting skinned by Walcott down the right.
These players weren't the only ones to have a poor game but for me Bosingwa and Mikel are squad players at best and I worry when I see them on the teamsheet, especially in big games.
To be fair mate bar yesterday he has done well against Arsenal in recent years, it was after he got clattered at The Emirates we fell apart there last season.
Luiz should have played, i would go as far as saying goal 1,2, and 5 would have been prevented. Not just that he should have been brought on instead of Malouda
I don't understand why AVB is throwing Lukaku in the deep end, i guess he just assumed he would do a Drogba V Arsenal.
I honestly think we could do alot worse than give Bertrand a start against Rovers

I think I'd agree with that. Cole was poor and deserves to be dropped for the next game.
Ivanovic for Bosingwa at right back and drop Mikel for either Meireles or Romeu.
for excusing Ramirez base on injury is bias, nobody thought it to be a bad idea when 99% of fans on this board have him in their selection without thinking about injury. He contributed nothing to the game yet we expect the Mikel to perform magic when Lampard is all scoring goal and contributing little in the defence.
AVB was wrong to have started Ramirez instead of Meireles, Mikel as well as other players were poor, no need scapegoating a certain player for the team failure.
We need a consistent starting 11 play week in week out,I don't think AVB has found his perfect 11 yet. Once that is sorted we will find form/consistency to push us forward. For me Mikel should be on the bench like he has always been throughtout his Chelsea career. Can't wait for the bison to return.
*throughout his Chelsea career
Cole needs to be dropped he needs to know he has competition that's the only way he will get better. Also anyway I think he is due a rest he has played every single game barring the carling cup games,he's not getting any younger.
Bosingwa should never be in the team for EPL/CL games.
